One More Note Before I Go: NIPC Wins APA Plan of the Year Award

From the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission's press release:

"With northeastern Illinois expected to grow by 1.9 million people over the next 25 years, a new vision -- one that will accommodate this anticipated growth in an efficient, coordinated and sustainable manner -- is guiding decision making around the region. This vision is a key component of the 2040 Regional Framework Plan, recipient of the 2006 Outstanding Planning Award for a Plan from the American Planning Association (APA)."

This means, by the time I'm a senior citizen, sprawl will be squished, the environment will be preserved and restored, and all the new buildings around these parts won't be ugly, right?
